Re: unwanted prerequisities

[Jonathan Baccash]

This is related to the help-make thread from July 2001.  I am having
difficulty getting rid of the implicit rule to make .c files from .w
files.  This is my makefile:

.SUFFIXES:
% :: %,v
% :: RCS/%,v
% :: RCS/%
% :: s.%
% :: SCCS/s.%
%.c : %.w %.ch

foo.c:

In the output of make -d, I still see:

  Trying implicit prerequisite `foo.w'.

I also tried %.c: %.w in addition to the above.  How can I get rid of
this one?  Is there some way I can just clear everything?  I don't
want any implicit rules and I want to start from scratch.  Thanks,

Jon.
